Upcoming EVENTS
FEBRUARY BOP EDUCATIONAL WEBINAR - WHAT CAN GO WRONG (AND HOW NOT TO LET IT SHUT YOU DOWN)
FEBRUARY 23, 2026
2:00 PM - 3 PM ONLINE
From burst tanks and liquor liability claims to property losses and employee injuries, breweries face risks that can put production and profits on pause fast. This session breaks down real-world brewery claim scenarios, what insurance actually does in those moments, and how to read your policy without needing a law degree. Attendees will leave knowing what coverage matters, what language to watch for, and how to avoid the most common (and expensive) gaps.
Hayley Amour of Starr Insurance will guide us through this 30-minute educational webinar, and we'll wrap up with an informal Q&A session/ happy hour. Grab a beer, hop water, afternoon coffee, etc and join us!
Philly Bierfest
February 28, 2026
German Society of Pennsylvania, 611 Spring Garden St. Philadelphia, PA 19123
Brewers of PA encourages our members to consider participating in this unique lager-loving event celebrating Pennsylvania's German brewing heritage (not to be confused with the for-profit soundalike Philly Beer Fest happening on the same date). Benefitting Brewers of PA, the German Society of PA and the ferocious athletes of Philly Roller Derby, the original, authentic Philly Bierfest is one of the best midwinter beer festivals in the country and one that aligns with our organization's goals.
For more info, you can view the event website at PhillyBierfest.org. To receive brewer registration details, contact the event's founder and organizer Marnie Old at marnieold@outlook.com or 215.837.7207.
